Review for The Rivers at Puyallup

Management staff very business like, available to answer questions. Seems the focus is to keep the rooms full. Care staff are courteous and helpful in all areas of need. Sometimes a little slow to respond to a call, but there are a lot of people to care for. Medical staff very good. A lot of activities daily. Good at posting them and plenty of participation. Food is plentiful, three meals each day, but available anytime on request. Each meal lasts for an hour and a half, plenty of time to arrive in the dining room.

Highly recommend

Staff is friendly and helpful. They treated my mom with love and kindness like she was their own family. They really did treat us like family. They had great communication throughout the entire process. My mom went into hospice and sadly passed the end of November. But she was happy when she was there and alert. Very well taken care of. We will miss them. Level of service is outstanding.
